Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"An appealing, elegantly designed introduction to another much-maligned species." — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "A fascinating, informative, and inclusive window into a feared and misunderstood species." — Booklist (starred review) "Montgomery shamelessly sells the spotted hyena as delightful and misunderstood, so animal-loving readers will be pleased to take up its cause." — Neal Pollack, The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, STARRED Review "The narrative unfolds with all the intrigue of a detective story...Photo-filled and perceptive." — Publishers Weekly "Another strong contribution to the Scientists in the Field series...a deeply detailed account of life in the field." — Horn Book Magazine "Because Montgomery and Bishop traveled together to do the research for the book, there is a remarkably personal feel throughout as they become part of the team and participate in all aspects of the work, from spotting to packing up gear, and even cradling a sedated hyena’s head...A truly strong addition to the series and a worthwhile purchase for most libraries." — School Library Journal
